Categories:

In collaboration with Mendocino’s Kelley House Museum, MendoFever will be publishing their “This Day in Mendocino History” Facebook posts. The Kelley House Museum works hard to document and curate Mendocino County’s rich history and can be visited in the seaside town of Mendocino.

On this day in Mendocino history…

June 3, 1912 – One of the warmest days experienced on the coast for a long time. At Burke’s railroad tie making camp (located one mile upstream from the Little Northfork), the thermometer registered 96 degrees. In a number of places close to the coast, the thermometer reached the hundred mark.

I like to think of myself as a reporter for the Average Joe. Journalism has become a craft defined largely by city dwellers on America's coasts. It’s time to take it back. I have been an Emerald Triangle resident since 2006 and this is year ten in Mendocino County. Please, email me at matthewplafever@gmail.com if you know a story that needs to be told.
